Description

Detailed Graphic Format image file forming method and device therefor}

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating a detailed image file (Effective Graphic Format image file, hereinafter referred to as an EGF image file) including the image and information data that is related information about the image.

With the development of the Internet infrastructure, the Internet has become popular, and many websites, such as portal sites and search sites, provide a large amount of information and a variety of information every day, and clients access and access the websites. Receive various information through contents.

In particular, with the development of digital devices, images are being used in various ways as information transmission means, and functions are gradually increasing in information delivery due to the advantages of easier and faster information transfer than text.

In addition, the conventional image files mainly used on the Internet are ani and bmp, cal, fax, gif, hdp, img, jpe, jpeg, jpg, mac, pbm, pcd, pct, pcx, pgm, png depending on the compression method and compression rate. , ppm, psd, ras, tga, tif, tiff, wmf, etc., and the conventional image files constituted in this way include visual information such as appearance or shape, which is inefficient to transmit information to text. Because they can deliver, content providers include images in most of their content and provide it to clients.

However, since conventional image files provide only visual information such as pictures and photographs to clients, clients receive information through subjective prediction through visual information when viewing images. You will receive other information. That is, the conventional image file does not accurately convey the information that the image file producer wants to convey, thus revealing a limitation in information transmission power.

In addition, the conventional image file cannot transmit information on a specific region of the entire image separately, and thus cannot store various information because the image file simply transmits only visual information.

In addition, Internet portal sites and search sites typically have a profit structure that provides profit by providing content, but conventional image files do not generate revenue simply by inducing a visitor's visit when provided as content on a website. Is generated.

To improve the problem of conventional image files, content creators and providing sites store large amounts of information in images by using languages such as Script, HTML, and CSS (appliing CSS to HTML documents). In addition, by providing contents (including images) to which various effects such as text size change and text color change are applied, the problem that the conventional image file cannot store various related information data is partially solved.

However, since the service method of providing improved image of this method is applied only to the site that provided the image or the related work site, the service can be provided only by accessing the site. To provide the same image, the same related work must be done. That is, when the "A" portal site provides improved images using Script, Html, and CSS (applies CSS to the Html document), the "B" portal site may provide a service having the same effect on the same image file. In order for the "B" portal site to provide an improved image having the same effect, it is necessary to perform the same website coding operation performed on the "A" portal site to provide the improved image.

In addition, the improved image files are complicated and difficult to use for clients who are not specialized in Script, HTML, and CSS languages.

In addition, the service method of providing an improved image file is a conventional image file having a problem of low information delivery power because the information delivery power of the website providing the image is increased rather than the information delivery power of the image file itself. Can't be the solution.

In order to overcome the problem of the improved image file, which is not linked to other sites other than the site where the related work has been progressed, a flash file has been developed that stores various information by editing the image with a 'flash' program. In this case, the flash file mentioned above inputs related information to the input image, and the input related information is displayed together with the image so that clients who view the image file receive detailed information that the producer wants to deliver.

In addition, Flash files are widely used on the Internet with the extension ".swf" and can be linked not only to specific sites but also to other sites, so that improved image files including Script, HTML, and CSS (appliing CSS to HTML documents) are related. The problem that only works with the specific site where the work is performed is corrected.

In addition, a flash file can apply various actions to an image, and detailed information data of the file can be stored together with the image, thereby improving some of the problems that the conventional image file has low information transfer power.

However, since Flash files are created through a specific graphic editing program called 'flash', even a proficient expert in 'flash' program can take a long time, and the process is very complicated for non-expert clients. Not easy to make

In addition, Flash file extension ".swf" is widely used on the Internet, so clients do not need to install the viewer program to view the file. However, to create and edit the file, a separate "Flash" graphic editing program with large file size is required. You must download and install it.

In addition, since Flash files were developed for the purpose of providing dynamic image files to service users, information data such as texts and phrases stored in the files cannot be used separately in search services and other services except visual representations.

The present invention is to solve such a problem, the problem of the present invention is to provide an EGF image file that can provide a variety of information as well as visual information, including the image and the information data related to the image.
In addition, another problem of the present invention is that the image is classified into at least one or more specific regions, and each of the classified specific regions stores various related information related to the specific regions, thereby providing a plurality of views having detailed information with only one image file. To provide an EGF image file that contains information.
In addition, another problem of the present invention is to provide an EGF image file in which information transfer capability is further increased by storing URL link information for providing detailed information on a specific region in each classified region.
In addition, another problem of the present invention is to provide an EGF image file including various information data that can be linked not only in a specific site but also in all web sites having different addresses.
In addition, another problem of the present invention is to provide a file generating apparatus that can easily produce an EGF image file with a simple manual by providing an interface to clients.
When the EGF image file is displayed on the viewer part of the EGF file generating device, the EGF file viewer device, and the website, the stored information data as well as the image are displayed so that clients viewing the file can view various information stored in the EGF image file. In addition, it is easy to set specific region images among images loaded at the time of production, and provides an interface that enables easy input of various information data into the specific region set, so that EGF image files including various related information can be read through a simple manual. And to provide a method and apparatus for forming EGF file is made.
